Freelance Event Marketing Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Event Marketing Manager

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response. Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective.

Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters.

• Identify and launch new customer event formats and engagement opportunities that strengthen Sage's brand, foster peer-to-peer connections, and create memorable customer experiences.

• 5+ years of experience in event marketing, experiential marketing, field marketing, or B2B event management.
• Demonstrated experience planning and executing executive events, customer events, conferences, or strategic marketing programs from concept through execution.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple events and priorities simultaneously.
• Experience managing event budgets, vendors, contracts, travel, timelines, and onsite production.
